Chaos In My Tank

[jasonskillz]

well i brought a new parrot into my tank and it seemed ok for a few days
but then for some reason it started getting really close with my other parrot and they got really territorial
like whenever my other parrots and my gourami swims by they like come out and attack them
EVEN MY GOURAMI
i started to also notice that there is something sticking out of their butts, its not a piece of crap, its like been there for like a few days now and they also dont eat during feeding time
what is up with these guys?
my parrots were never territorial to begin with and have always been very friendly and the 2 hostile ones dont even let my other 2 sleep under the decoration bridge thingy anymore (its the spot they always sleep in and now its been taken over by those 2)
help

Most likely they are trying to breed.. if those things sticking out are a whitish color, that would be their breeding organ.

i moved them to another tank but no eggs

 

[vancouver]

The eggs most likely wont be fertile even if they lay them.. but you could always try and hope.

about how long will it take until my parrot settles down so i can move it back to my tank?
im really pissed off because one of the parrots messed up my gouamis whisker thingys hangin down
if that whisker doesnt go back the way it use to my parrot is going to get it

 

[vancouver]

your parrot is going to get it?.. I don't understand that.. but anyways..

your parrot may never accept the gourami

 

[jasonskillz]

well the only reason why the parrot attacked because it had eggs
i moved it back because it seemed like it settled down and kinda seem like its back to normal
now its all pale

and you my friend, just stressed out your fish, death will be next. if ur lucky he'll make it

 

[vancouver]

When you move fish, they often get stressed and go pale..

Most likely wont be the death of it.. but if you move it a few times a week you might run into problems.

parrot fish ARE aggressive.

should they be in a tank with gouramis?

 

[vancouver]

Yea it can be done... some parrots are pretty calm, while others are terrors.. really depends on the individual fish... I've seen it done many times, but it's not for every parrot.

i guess you only hear about the viscous ones on here lol.

 

[jasonskillz]
